DREAM

This one was a challenge. I was going for a "Beatles-ish" kind of arrangement with the huge fade out and George Martin strings. I tried singing the vocals in several keys and just not able to get a satisfactory take. I then tried AI vocals to turn my voice into John Lennon's that turned into total mess. Finally I used Synth V Saros, Kevin, and many others to get a full sound.

Let me know if I hit the mark. All comments are welcome.

Dream close your eyes and dream a peaceful dream
Peaceful world where there's no such word as hate
Just Dream we can dream

Life Living life in peace and loving life
You know that it could be if you dream Dream with me dream with me

Dream together we can dream
We can Change the whole world with love
We can Love we can Dream we can Change the world
If we Dream

Love look down deep inside each others hearts
you will find the love down deep inside Let it out let it in

I'm Scared for all the People so filled with hate
Scared for all the Lovers who's hearts will break
Scared for all the Children wars have killed
Scared for all the Dreams yet unfulfilled

Dream together we can dream
we can Change the whole world with love
We can Love we can Dream we can Change the world
If we Dream 3x
We can Dream We can Dream We Can Dream : ||

Really nice Elliott!

Big full sound!

Zoinks! Shades of Sgt Pepper, I think you've done it. You've definitely got that mid-period George Martin vibe going in the arrangement and production.

Beatlesque vocals are SO hard though. I mean, they're the BEATLES, right? John, Paul and George were probably the greatest boy band vocalists EVER. (No, that's not controversial whatsoever) So...I think your vocals are quite well done, and they stand on their own perfectly. But they don't remind me of...them. On the other hand, neither did Badfinger or Oasis, as perfect as THEY are.

So be proud. You did GREAT!

Hi Elliott,

Yeah you have definitely got a Beatles Sgt. Peppers sound .

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Elliott.

My gosh! You've really managed to capture the essence of The Beatles and use to it to create an outstanding song. The arrangement and productions are awesome. I love how you've used Saros and Kevin from Synthesizier V. You have really mastered these vocaloids. They sounded fully real to me.

In addition, your lyric writing is first class. To be able to create a cohesive lyric that can stand tall with minimal rhyming like this is a real credit to your abilities. Everything fitted and nothing was amiss. Super impressive!

I found this an excellent listen!

Nicely done and the Beatles vibe is very apparent.
The vocals are very well done.

Good song.

Peter

I'm certainly no Beatles expert, but I hear a nice Beatles sound and instrumentation, and more importantly, the lyrics/vocals have that vibe.
I think it's a success.
Well done, Elliott.

Really fantastic production! It screams The Beatles from the opening and throughout, but that makes it even more impressive. Incredible job! It's probably the best produced song I've seen on this forum to date.

OH< YEAH!! This sounds like a Lennon song for sure. Love it, Elliott. George Martin (and Sir Paul, the symphony composer) would really enjoy the string arrangement. Man, this is so good. Vocals are perfect, and even the guitar sounds like Harrison's taste. Reallly dig the horns too. Great effort, Elliott. Man, that fade is longer than Hey Jude love. Very much enjoyed.

I definitely hear the Beatles vibe and I like it. One thought is the overall mix sounds just a little bright. Maybe more bass and mids, at least through the speakers I am listening through. Nice song with a good vibe.

Elliott...Wow! great production all round....very Beatles-ish for sure....as an amateur working with AI voices I love listening to someone who does it right...and I know this takes a monumental effort and intensive amount of work...this is excellent!

Great stuff Eliott. Nice song all the way around. It has such a full production and great sound, man you really pulled this one off!

Brad

Elliott, this sounds like something John would write, very Beatles like.
Super synth vocals!
Outstanding backing band and arrangement, very Sargent Pepper!
You did an outstanding job on this.
Loved it.

Elliott,

You hit the mark with this one... Love the song, arrangement and vocals. The mix is also awesome.

Very nicely done!

Bob

Elliot,

Very well done. Quite Lennon-ish. And a nice Martin-ish production.
Good mix.
Enjoyed the listen.
You are putting out a bunch of good music.

Hi Elliot,

Really well done! Definitely sounds like something the Beatles would have done, both the song and the arrangement. Impressive!

As so many have noted you definitely captured the late 60's Beatles feel.

The production is great and we love the sentiment of the write.
Excellent work with the synth vocals indeed.

PS I (Bud) saw the Beatles live and was managing several bands during the Sgt. Pepper's period and fully appreciate your efforts to achieve this vibe.
